KSK LAND CELEBRATES KUALA LUMPUR’S PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE IN CONJUNCTION WITH WORLD CITIES DAY 2021

By bringing guests on a journey of discovering unknowing charms and what makes KL one of the greatest cities in the world

Kuala Lumpur, 28th October 2021 – In conjunction with World Cities Day, KSK Land, Malaysia’s leading lifestyle property and design company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KSK Group Berhad, celebrated this annual occasion by hosting a fireside conversation on the various aspects that makes Kuala Lumpur a great city and a hub in Southeast Asia, many of which remained unknown to its citizens.

This occasion featured sharing of unique experiences and insights by a panel of industry leaders who have flourished in their respective fields here in Kuala Lumpur. Joanne Kua, Managing Director of KSK Land and CEO of KSK Group; Rick Joore, co-owner of JOLOKO and rising star F&B entrepreneur and; Dr. Ceelia Leong, analytics lead from Think City and co-author of Kuala Lumpur Creative and Cultural District Strategic Master Plan (KLCCD) all brought their own perspectives to a discussion that centred around the way forward for the city beyond the effects of COVID-19 .

Sharing her insights on what makes a future-forward city resilient, Dr. Ceelia Leong said: “Cities are complex but they are made up of people. A people-centric city is the future. That is why urban solutions have to be human-focused as it is ultimately the people who drive the economy and build the city’s cultural identity. A city shunned by people is a dead city. If a city is to survive and thrive, it should be built for the people then the city will be resilient with a brighter future ahead.”

Positive about what the future holds for this great city, “The wonderful thing about KL is its tagline of ‘the city of diversity’,” said Rick Joore, as a global nomad who has settled down in Kuala Lumpur for eight (8) years, “I think that KL is full of opportunities and I’m far from being done here. One good thing that the COVID pandemic has left us with is a reminder for all of us to innovate and make up for what we have lost.”

Joanne added, “What gives Kuala Lumpur a competitive edge is that unlike several other first-class cities in the world, high standard quality-of-life is available and affordable to its citizens. And perhaps a fact less known by the public, nature is actually embedded at the heart of the city, where it is close to any urbanite who seeks escape from the city buzz,”

“Kuala Lumpur is a very intimate city, it is an imperfect city but it has so many identities, where people can discover fresh perspectives from the different corners in this city. At 8 Conlay, when someone comes through the door, our job is not just to sell the property but also to sell the city. Whether you buy the property or not, you will walk away with a new impression of what KL is really about.

”The enlightening discussion concluded that Kuala Lumpur is certainly one of the more livable cities in the region with its many true charms awaiting discovery. Moving forward, it has a vibrant future as an art and educational hub, but also primed for innovative opportunities. Supported by the diversity of its people and its rich history and culture, Kuala Lumpur is set to flourish for many generations to come.

With its maiden development 8 Conlay approaching the structural completion of its first residential tower (“YOO8 Tower A”), KSK Land is gearing up for its next lap and set to drive sustainable developments that bring vibrancy and wellness elements to the city and its community.
